“…Some of the early attempts at peace education occurred in what was called Itorero, a citizenship education program which was part of Rwanda's vision 2020 initiative and had community leaders lead weekly seminars to discuss Rwandan history, values and taboos in order to train “model citizens” and make people engage with the state and their neighbours (Sundberg, 2016). While some have noted that this program was successful in changing Rwandan's self-image to being a nation focused on togetherness (Dahlmanns, 2015), others have noted that this singular focus on civic education removes citizens’ ability for healthy dissent (Nzahabwanayo, 2018).…”

This study evaluates news portrayals of resilience in the newly renewed Education for Sustainable Peace in Rwanda initiative. There remains a gap in understanding about how Rwanda's education approaches are portrayed and disseminated to the public by news media. This research uses an inductive coding analysis and layers Entman's framing theory to evaluate new media portrayals of resiliency in the reporting of domestic and international media outlets. This research demonstrates that there has been little media attention paid to Rwanda's education system outside of Rwanda, despite the newly revised programming. This research also finds that in media sources which do discuss Rwanda's education system, portrayals of approaches to resilience that have the potential for inclusivity are far more common than approaches which are top-down and exclusive. These findings serve to contribute to literature in both the context of Rwanda's place in global governance and the broader discussions of educational resiliency.
